<p>not everyone is rational.</p>
<p>Calmom, Morandi is right. Zzgirl is ■■■■■. Not using articles gives foreign feel to post. Nonagreement of plural or singular are also good way. Next step would be use of verb “be” instead of “have” in present perfect tense.</p>
<p>As I’ve said before, I have a very good idea who this poster is.</p>
<p>OK, you guys are right … I’ve put zzgirl on my ignore list, I won’t be tempted again…</p>
<p>Whether you like it or not, 'Office of the PROVOST Planning and Institutional Research" shows that :</p>
<p>Barnard students :
- are Never admitted to Columbia U.
- Never enrolled at Columbia U.
- Never received CU degree nor certificates
- are Never changed tuition from CU.
- Columbia U has no record of Barnard students.

<p>And </p>
<p>**BC graduates can NOT join Columbia U Alumni Association. **</p>
<p>BC students are not allowed to take Columbia’s Core Curriculum courses.</p>
<p>All future Barnard applicants should know these facts and truths.</p>
<p>Fortunately, Barnard applicants and students tend to be intelligent and perceptive and will indeed know the facts as distinguished from incoherent rants of someone with an apparent ax to grind.</p>
<p>Best to all future Barnard students and grads!!</p>
<p>Yes, it does now appear to me that zzgirl is really just some bright, but tragically insecure, Columbia student. I suppose the Barnard general counsel’s office can find his/her identity through a court order, if they’d like to pursue legal action for malicious interference with Barnard’s admissions process. But that’s probably overkill; better to just pity zzgirl and wonder what the admissions people at Columbia must have been thinking when they let in someone who would hide behind secrecy and ethnic stereotyping to pursue an obsession. In fact, now that we know zzgirl is a Columbia ■■■■■, I think I’ll paste some of his/her messages on the Columbia webpage so prospective Columbia students can assess the level of intellectual debate on the east side of Broadway.</p>
<p>Your time is done here, zzgirl. Go away, please.</p>
<p>I just want to remind you that the statements that I posted in #145 are not my personal opinions. Those are from “Office of the PROVOST Planning and Institutional Research”</p>
<p>You should complain to the Office of the Provost.</p>
<p>go away, zzgirl, no one is listening.</p>
<p>(But congratulations on the sudden and remarkable improvement in your grammar and spelling skills.)</p>
<p>
Where do you get “bright”?</p>
<p>It’s a little pathetic that the posters in favor of a Barnard=Columbia relationship are mostly mothers. Frankly, I think a proud Barnard woman shouldn’t care whether people think she goes to Columbia or not. They are affiliated, yes, but it simply sounds pretentious to say that you are going to Columbia when it’s quite established that Barnard and Columbia are different entities.</p>
<p>Yes, indeed. Barnard and Columbia College are very different schools. Both exist in relationship with, and together under the Columbia university “umbrella”. Nobody here is saying they are the same. They are not. But there is a unique but very, very present and significant relationship that cannot and should not be ignored when considering Barnard. This relationship as part of the Columbia University community is one thing that sets Barnard apart. </p>
<p>Kiwi, yes there have been mothers that have posted here. Also fathers. And students as well as former students. What exactly is pathetic about our posting here? And nobody is voting on being “in favor” of the Barnard/Columbia relationship. That relationship exists whether anyone is “in favor” of it or not. We are just trying to explain what that relationship is and is not.
And who here has said anything about saying they “go to Columbia”??</p>
<p>Barnard women are often too busy to post on boards. My D would be mortified to say she went to Columbia. She prefers Barnard. And the strong gynocentric feeling abroad at the Barnard graduation underscores her point.</p>
<p>Columbia is a wonderful school. For those choose to attend, bravo, brava.</p>
<p>Barnard women do not want to say they attend Barnard. Perhaps some young women do between acceptance and attendance in September, in the same way that some Columbia students think this is an important issue before they actually attend.</p>
<p>It all gets sorted out when actual students attend their own institutions.</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, my D took 40% of her coursework at Columbia. She was chosen for a Supreme Court Seminar for which some Columbia students were rejected. They went on a field trip to the Supreme Court. She was the only Barnard student and when asked always gave her school as Barnard.</p>
<p>There’s nothing “pathetic.” Our kids are too busy to waste time posting on internet boards. (Some of us parents are older, empty nesters, possibly retired, with plenty of time on our hands – plus we have invested far too much money in our kid’s education to tolerate patently false information being posted online with the intent to deter others from applying to and attending an excellent college).</p>
<p>
WRONG</p>
<p>Barnard college is independent affiliated institution and Columbia College is one of Columbia U’s school.<br>
Barnard degree is NOT awarded by Columbia U according to Provost’s office.
Columbia College degree is awarded by Columbia U.</p>
<p>Barnard degree holders can not even join Columbia ** University** Alumni Association.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That is the translation of the latin on my daughter’s degree which she received from Columbia University and Barnard College this past May. End of discussion.</p>
